Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Yes, he did my LASIK surgery back in 2000. It was awesome. He recently removed a cataract and that was perfect as well.

He is the best, especially if you think you might have glaucoma. I left a practice that almost let my condition go too far, and Dr. McLaurin got me on the right track. Tiffany is awesome as well! You won't be disappointed or regret making that appointment.

Been going to Dr. McLaurin a yr. Very satisfied w/service & care. Staff Rude & very unprofess. I signed in, waited 1 hr b4 reminding them . . . Male called me back in approx 10-15 min. As I walked back., I said, "Did you forget about me? " his reply,"If I had you wouldn't be here now, would you?" My pressure soared. At end of exam, mentioned conversation to Dr "M". He apologized for his SON and I was satisfied. . Was met at ckout by little older Lady who began to tell me that Dr was going to have a walkout if he didn't stop being so slow. I replied 'I had already addressed issue. She asked me "Who did you talk to" I replied, " She lit into me. Saying I had no right talking to him that I should have come to her. Then she walked away from window after telling me someone would have to call me 4 next appt. In disbelief, I called out as she was not in sight "Are you upset with me?". Told me "You need to find another doctor. Was 2nd issue w/her. B4 she hung up phone. UNPROFESSIONAL

Had an appointment this past December 2019. Waited in a room for 30 minutes and then politely informed staff that I would have to reschedule. Called today for glaucoma check appointment and was denied appointment.

Dr. McLaurin is a wonderful Doctor. His staff however is a different story. Rude, wait time is always an hour plus and you aren’t allowed to ask his staff anything without a smart remark as an answer. I recommend go anywhere except here. It’s so sad the doctor must suffer due to his staff. Very disappointing.

First time I met Dr. McLaurin was almost 40 years ago for an injury to my Mother's eye. I have been his patient ever since. I dread the day he decides to retire. He is the BEST!
